Sounds for XMPP and IRC

[Matt Heidsick]

can this plugin then be done in Perl ? I am not familiar with 
programming languages enough to do this myself but have some folks on my 
team who could do it possibly. Are there any instructions somewhere on 
how to construct a plugin with functions from the sound.h file ?
